Cover Reveal: Zoe & The Moment Of Zen By Cat Lavoie

Last year, Cat Lavoie made her solid debut sweeping away fans of the Chick-lit genre (and more) away with her lead, Roxy Rules from Breaking The Rules. Following book release rules set by her, she's releasing her new novel, Zoe & And The Moment of Zen about the same time she released her first. Whilst her debut was New York-y, this has the looks of a beach-y read.

So if you are up for being swept away by this number, be sure to check out... this cover.

Blurb: When coffee shop owner Zoey Everwood takes her obsession withex-boyfriend Braden too far everyone—except Zoey—is convinced a bit of fun in the sun at the Moment of Zen Wellness Resortwill help her get over him once andfor all.

But Zoey's relaxing vacation turns out to be anything but peaceful when she meets Shane Lawson, a resort guest who bears a striking resemblance to Braden. And things get even more complicated when the resort's owner starts spilling secrets about Zoey’s aunt Nessa, the woman who raised her. Add a snarky Wellness Coordinator and Nate Holmes—Shane's grumpy friend—to the mix, and you've got the recipe for a perfect tropical storm.

When Zoey comes back home with a new husband instead of tacky souvenirs, she must convince everyone she hasn't completely losther mind. As Zoey and Shane struggle to keep the magic alive outside the resort, Zoey discovers that she isn't the only one having trouble letting go of the past. And when Nate drops a bombshell that changes everything, Zoey must decide if the old saying is true—what happens at the Momentof Zen stays at the Moment of Zen.

Message From Cat Lavoie Hello everyone on ChickLit Pad! I am so excited to share the cover of my second novel with all of you. I hope you will enjoy reading about Zoey as much as I loved writing about her. The new book should be out in October and, like my debut novel Breaking the Rules, it will be published by Marching Ink.

There you have it. Zoe & The Moment Of Zen cover. From the look of things, this appears to be a record breaker. Hope you do check it out.

On our blog calendar we have Breaking The Rules review lined-up. If you haven't read Cat Lavoie's most accoladed debut, get it in both paperback and kindle on Amazon.

Cover Reveal: It Ain't Easy Being Jazzy By Quanie Miller

Author Quanie Miller is releasing her debut novel, It Ain't Easy Being Jazzy and we jumped at the opportunity to host her cover release. A long-high jump before the chance gets whisked off by other bloggers, finding out the book is the real deal (if it's going for $0.00).

So I present to you the first sneak peak of It Ain't Easy Being Jazzy designed by Whit&Ware Design Services.

Cover

:

Blurb: Jazzy secretly wants to get back together with her ex boyfriend, Curtis, so when he calls and reveals that he’s got something important to tell her, she’s got no idea that he’s about to propose—to her first cousin and bitter rival, Mercedes.

The annual family dinner is coming up, and fearing that she will spend the evening seething while Mercedes flaunts her four carat engagement ring in her face, Jazzy asks Reggie, an Adonis she met at the mall, to accompany her. As fate would have it, not only did Reggie and Mercedes used to date; that backstabbing,leopard print wearing cow is still carrying a torch for him! Revenge. It’s never been so sweet.

But falling for Reggie? Holy crap! That wasn’t part of the plan! She’s got enough on her plate as it is with a mother who spies on the neighbors and a sister and best friend with man problems that could land them on Jerry Springer. So when Curtis comes sniffing around again—this time, with an accusation that sends her blood pressure shooting through the roof— the one good nerve that Jazzy’s got left has just about run its course.

Message from Quanie Miller. Thanks for featuring the cover of It Ain’t Easy Being Jazzy on Chick Lit Pad! The novel will be available on October 15 and is loosely based on my experiences living and working in Silicon Valley (although, unlike Jazzy, I have never chased a man with a cast iron skillet). The book will be a great read for those looking for something light, quick, and fun. I hope you’ll have as much fun reading this novel as I had with writing it!

So you heard from Quanie Miller. Stay tuned to Chicklit Pad for a review of It Ain't Easy Being Jazzy before it's release date.

Cover Reveal: Blogger Girl By Meredith Schorr.

Writer Meredith Schorr is back to a blog! With the hilarious A State of Jane and Just Friends With Benefits to her name, Meredith keeps getting better and better. No wonder we squealed at the offer of hosting Blogger Girl's cover release.

Available in kindle format and paperback, this is what your book should look like... (return if it doesn't.)

Cover

Blurb:What happens when your high school nemesis becomes the shining star in a universe you pretty much saved?

Book blogger Kimberly Long is about to find out. A chick lit enthusiast since the first time she read “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” Kim, with her blog, “Pastel is the New Black,” has worked tirelessly by night to keep the genre alive, and help squash the claim that “chick lit is dead” once and for all.

Not bad for a woman who by day ekes out a meager living as a pretty, and pretty-much-nameless, legal secretary in a Manhattan law firm. While Kim’s day job holds no passion for her, the handsome (and shaving challenged) associate down the hall is another story.

Yet another story is that Hannah Marshak, one of her most hated high school classmates, has now popped onto the chick lit scene with a hot new book that’s turning heads—and pages—across the land. It’s also popped into Kim’s inbox—for review. With their ten-year high school reunion drawing near, Kim’s coming close to combustion over the hype about Hannah’s book. And as everyone around her seems to be moving on and up, she begins to question whether being a “blogger girl” makes the grade in her off-line life.

Message from Meredith Schorr

Thanks so much for featuring the cover of Blogger Girl on the Chick Lit Pad blog! I’m so excited for the official release of this novel on August 28th. During the promotion of my first two books, I met so many amazing book bloggers and learned how important they are to the marketing of a book. Book bloggers often feature authors on their blogs with interviews, book reviews and guest posts and I thought it would be fun to write a book spotlighting the book blogger instead of the author for a change. I really had such a blast writing this novel and I hope you enjoy reading it!

The review of Blogger Girl will be out at an earlier date before it's release. Stay tuned to find out if it doesn't put the spotlight on the author but us, the bloggers (for a change).

Cover Reveal: Lying To Meet You by Anna Garner

For all of us who are gazing around in confusion as to who Anna Garner is, well, she is the acclaimed self-published Chick-lit author under the name Libby Mercer who has dazzled the Chick-lit genre with titles such as Unmasking Maya, Expresso Macchiato and Karmic Connection.

And Chick-lit Pad is proud to be hosting the cover release of her no-doubt-a-hit-like-all-her-others Lying To Meet You which will be in both an ebook store and a bookstore near you.

It was designed by Sue Traynor who was the genius behind Unmasking Maya and Karmic Collections.

Cover:

(How can we not be suckers to judging this book by its cover)

Blurb

: Does being in a relationship make you a hot commodity in the eyes of would-be suitors?

Chloe Lane is about to find out. When her childhood pal, Ethan Webster, asks her to play the part of his girlfriend in order to test this theory, she reluctantly agrees. As a work-crazed fashion designer, boutique owner and soon-to-be reality show judge, Chloe has no time for a real boyfriend, but being part of a faux pair will do just fine. Not that she has any intention of trying to attract someone else.

However…

Opportunity unexpectedly knocks when Chloe meets fellow reality judge, William Shannon. Super successful and super sexy, this high-powered entrepreneur inspires Chloe to test Ethan’s theory herself. Now, on top of keeping her fashion business productive, carving out a new role as a television personality, maintaining a fake relationship and attempting to lay the groundwork for a future relationship, she’s lying to William, lying to her friends, lying to her family and quite possibly lying to herself. Will Chloe be able to keep it all together, or are things about to explode?

The cover looked so good we asked for a twirl

Message from Anna Garner

Hi, everyone on Chicklit Pad. My new novel Lying To Meet You might be the best chick-lit title you have ever read (from me). I've written three chick-lit/romance hybrids under the name of Libby Mercer, but this new one is longer, meatier and more chick-litty than my previous three novels, so I'm releasing it under my real name, Anna Garner. Lying to Meet You will be out on September 5th. Please do check it out.

Honestly, we at Chick-lit Pad can't wait to join Anna Garner celebrate her book release. We are giddy with excitement to review it up on the blog. So please do tune in before it's release to find out our thoughts on it

Thank You Anna Garner for making us cover your uh, Cover Release
